Working from home sounds much easier than it is. Some who've never done it have an image of being sprawled on the sofa, feet up, coffee and snacks nearby, music playing and making the normal eight hour day a production giant equalling 48 hours. Those who don't believe in it often scoff at home-workers, accusing them of binge Netflixing, "working" on the golf course, being down the pub and generally disbelieving that they are doing any work at all.


For employees and employers alike, there are specific challenges when working from home. Whether you're new to it or not, there are ways to do things which will make for a more enjoyable, productive and rewarding experience. I've been working from home for over 18 years, in many different situations and to many different standards. I've surveyed many people from different backgrounds and industries and written this book using the best that we all have to offer.


Written in an easy to read and accessible way, light-hearted and jovial in places, this guide is filled with tips, strategies and resources from the act of working from home itself, saving money as you do, all the way through to looking after your mental and physical health.


Inspired by the challenges of working from home before, during and in the now post-lock-down COVID world.

About the author (2022)

I'm mostly a technical writer, but I have dabbled in story writing too. Let’s face it, technical writing isn’t the most exciting job out there. But with over 30 years of experience in the field, I can certainly claim that I have picked up on a few things along the way.

I was one of those kids who liked to take things apart and see how they worked. I enjoyed writing too. Writing manuals was just as interesting to me as taking things apart.

Technical writing is not just about writing. In fact, I spend most of my time learning about new technologies and products so that I can share that information with others.

My forte is making things simple. I can take complex concepts and explain them simply, clearly and in contexts which make them easy to understand. I believe in making knowledge accessible for everyone.

I'm looking forward to sharing my work here.
